I think this charity is one of the best things that exists to help industry professionals. It works effectively and provides a very much needed support that the government is lacking. In an industry where we give the most and sacrifice a lot, with unfortunately not much protection or support, the Film and TV Charity is essential.

But most of all, we rely on the generosity of individuals and organisations to make sure we’re able to offer industry workers somewhere to turn. You’ll make a real difference to the people behind the scenes in film, TV and cinema who need it most.
